Eden's Legacy: Aftermath

 

The aftermath for Eden's Legacy has been revealed:

Excerpts from the aftermath

Theo snorted. "The Imperator and I have kind of an unspoken understanding. He doesn't give me
orders. I'll try not to shove another stake through his chest and toss him off another pier. Or didn't you
hear about the Sao Paulo incident? Your warlord is in thick with slavers and demon worshipers. Of
course, seeing as he's all loyal to the Camarilla and its fine founders... maybe Karsh was just following
orders...."

She felt a presence beside her and turned. She was startled by the massive form of the Magaji. The
serpents of gold and silver wrapped around his powerful form glinted in the flickering light. Eze, the
Demon Prince, turned towards her. She had never been so close to one so great. She dared not speak.
It was not her place to address him.

When she awoke, Dmitra Ilyanova was disappointed to find that the rest of the bed was empty. She
looked up and saw Helena, who had pulled back the heavy curtain and stood by the window. Dmitra
climbed out of the vast bed. She went over to Helena and put one hand on the white curve of her hip.
Dmitra touched her lips to Helena's perfect shoulder and neck. The two of them looked out at the
orange and purple sky illuminated by the setting sun behind the Carpathian mountains.

Looks like the Brujah, Ishtarri and Guruhi are joint winners.
